Here it is http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/FAQ#How_do_I_switch_the_default_sound_card.2C_moving_all_applications.3F Again, not sure if by now there's a way to run this script whenever a card is plugged in and out, if you do find that let me know =). Like I said, I just bind the script to a shortcut key using xbindkeys

I don't blame you, but I blame the people who always at once suggest installing and using PA as the ultimate solution and answer for everything. And I blame the developers who force the users to installing PA as a dependency. If PA is working for you, you want to deal with PA and PA solves your problem, it's totally OK for me. > ^^ After > all I am confused if my installation uses ALSA or pulse now.

PA can set its own volume level which is, of course, relative to the ALSA level. Just turn up the volume to the highest level in PA and switch the volume level in alsamixer.

With one exception, OSS and ALSA are two different sound drivers on the same level. OSS is the older one, and I don't know if there's still an up-to-date version. ALSA has a OSS plugin for compatibility reasons. PulseAudio and Jack are two sound servers which are on the layer on top of ALSA or OSS. Heiko

I already have at least two more question and I will use this mailinglist with pleasure ! P.S.: Don't care about the headline from GMX. German Mail-Provider sometimes handle mails writen in English very hysterical. I try to train the server-located Spamfilter with every new mail from this ML but it will take a while.

Which is only used for new streams (existing streams are not automatically moved over). I have a small home-brew script which I use to switch the default sink AND move all current streams to that new default, but never figured out (didn't really try too hard) how to automate it to plugging in/out of audio equipment. I think it wasn't possible at that point in time to detect jack in or something like that.

You can try instaling pulseaudio and pavucontrol , in pavucontrol you can set default device. -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Hm ... then I will have a look at the conf-files ALSAMIXER showed up for information. Perhaps there is a nice switch ^^ Any other suggestions ?

Perhaps someone of you can help me out. Is it possible that Arch deactivates the internal speakers of my laptop when I plug in my USB-headset and turn input / output to this ? In Windows I could define the USB headset as default for in-/output so Win made a fallback to internal speakers only when I plugged out the headset again. It would be really great if Arch was that comfortable too. I know in GNOME there are just two clicks to do for switching to another audio hardware but ... :D Warm regards, Nelson.
